I agree that Luger was overrated but I still cannot forget he had many great matches, especially in his pre-WWF NWA days. In addition to those named above, Luger had some great matches with Nikita Koloff, Sting, the Steiners, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard. He formed good tandems with Windham and Sting, although Windham turning on him to join the Horsemen was classic. Still as I understand it, Luger was never really a big fan of wrestling and I think it tended to show in a lot of his work. He probably could have done a lot more if the interest and enthusiam had been there.

Again, I think he was carried in a lot of those matches. If you see his post '98 run in WCW, he had horrible matches. Ironically, that's when I liked his CHARACTER the most. He was a smug prick at the time. Ultimately, I'll always choose Doink before Luger. But, I'm surprised no ECW competitor made this initial list.

I'm sure some will get nominated eventually. I simply picked the five names at random, the first to my mind will always be competitors from the 1980s (as that's my favourite era of pro wrestling) yet I felt we needed a gimmick guy on the list too.

Actually you wouldn't be the first to criticize Abdullah. Some say he killed every town in which he appeared...as an attraction who would be brought in and would quickly leave as the going got tough. Also he was only capable of doing an handful of moves most of his career and made up for the rest carving guys up with plastic knives and forks, and a few real forks too. That said, I do consider him a legend whereas I don't Doink.
